FRONTRUNNER RACKS? YAY OR NAY?

Just wondering if anyone has anything to say about these rocks or experience with them particularly the expedition racks that go on the front of the cab that cover the whole cab in a double cab

 

Can't speak to FrontRunner personally, but am a big fan of Prinsu as many others are on TW. Plus most FrontRunner attachments/accessories will fit a Prinsu and it's very heavy duty and has held up to a lot of abuse in the last 2 years and still looks new

 

front runner slimline 2 is the best rack on the market...

as far as I am aware it has the highest rating for weight and there are multiple videos online of front runner lifting up entire vehicles by the rack...

just my .02, my truck already had it on when i purchased the truck used.

not the cheapest rack on the market by any means

 

I love mine!

 

are those light bar mounts?

Tell me more

 

They sure are! I haven't got the bar yet, but soon. The thing is beefy and has limitless options on mounting stuff. Here was my previous setup but changed it because of that wind fairing.

 

Well shoot, hang on. You can't really see the D2s I had on the front.

 

where did you buy the light bar brackets? I have a front runner as well and was looking at light bar mounting options

 

From frontrunner. It comes either the way you see on mine or one that goes where the stock wind deflecters are. I know @CaliRaisedLed has a different option too.

 

thanks, ill dig around their website

 

Those D2 cubes are mounted via frontrunner's spot light mounts. I'm excited about some aftermarket options on those.

 

Looks dope!
Where did u get the fairing or was that incl? The ones I’ve seen didt have that?

 

ALSO, does anyone have or had the factory dealer installed and how would those compare to a slimline if you just put a rack on the factory bars? It’s a bit cheaper to go that route since a slimline frontrunner rack set up in $1200 CDN

 

I got it off Amazon. It's an Inno Universal Fairing. Much better with noise and looks way cooler.

 

I assume the wt capacity is significantly lower.

 

factory rack is rated for 100 pounds...
slimline is rated for 600+ pounds

 

Hanks for all the info TW fam!!

 

front runner has a youtube page with a bunch of videos testing their products

there is a video with a lr4 holding over 1k pounds on top of a slimline 2

 

There is/was a prinsu in the forsale section a few days ago. Check it out!

 

Roof Rack Load rating is one thing that can be misleading if you take that number for the load they say you can put on it with it installed on the vehicle, The last time I looked The Tacoma's are rated at 300 Lbs dynamic load and 600 Lbs static and that is Not with the Toyota Roof Rack Just saying check carefully before loading up and finding after a good hard trail run the damn door wont open or there is a spider web crack in the front windshield?
